I;nclosed 4::ripy of 4 notice our Consul-General has sent ound. It is in crinsequetwe of a very severe circular received from the Foreign Office. After mentioning that the system of covering Turkish property .has been carried to great extent in all ' parts 'of the Levant, it adds, " espeeiallyut Salonica, Beyrout, and Alexandria," and threatens immediate dismissal to any Consul who shall connive at, or pernnt hereafter, the same. We rejoice • smich 'at this measure of our Government, as it - Will, in some de- • greet put a stop to th, assistance which the friends of his High newt the Paella haVe hitherto been giving him against the tithe- • tunate Greeks, and it will enable them to carry on their warfare with somt.propect of success. The PaeliaCould not have hitherto annoyed them so much without English aid, his troops and pro visions having principally been transported against the Greeks in vessels under the British flag. • "We, rejoice also at this measure for another reason, which mere immediately interests ourselves. 'The cruellest system of monopoly has for several years been carried on by the Paha, whn, not content with extorting the, produce of the labour of his people from them, at:his OWII price, and on his own terms, has virtually broken the commercial treaties with Great Britain, by retuning to sell- and preventing . salios on the spot, fancying it snore for his interest (in which, however, lie has been mistaken) to consign his product to - various places for his own account, and the British Bag has principally protected his property. from the Greeks. " The French have OR idea that this order our Consul has re ckived will give encouragement to the trade between. Egypt and their country; • but the produce of cotton,. the amide commodity of Egypt, is much greater than all France can consume; independent of .which, the Pachn, we think, will be induced, from kat. of the Greek cruisers, to sell bin products .on the spot : thus the monopoly, which extends to every article, even antiquities end mats, will re - - ceive a check,' and enable , those British merchants who have come here under the idea of being protected by the totutitereiAl treaties, to Ira& in the products of the , country, and earn a subilititetice cory or TIM NOTICE. !' .9rderi - Wring been received at this cousulate from hi. Ms- Ministei . for Foreign Affairs, to abstain scrupulously not only from encouraging, but from any way permitting, or eounki ing.st, the • embarkation of Turkish property on bowl British weasels, or being privy to tnelurnishing of such vessels with si mulated papers in order to cover the property from Greek cruisers:' Notice is hereby publicly given to all British merchants, mid lonian merchants under British protection, as to all Captains of British or lonian vessels, anti all others concerned, that the office of our Consulate will not furnish any papers to any vessels sailing with cargo from this port, until a declaration in writing be given by the shipper or shippers that the goods or property named in the manifest - are,honci jide British- or European property, and not.

Given under our hand and consular seal, this 2tith of Sept., Bfiti, at the Consular. house, Alexandria. (Signed) " HENRY SALT." the House of Commons is so creditably engaged in endeavouring to reform the . abuses which have crept into both the formation and practices of its Committees on what are called Private Bills, it would have added greatly to its merits had the House at-the same time instituted an inquiry into, and set about reformin g , an d if n o t abolish,. ;rig, materially reducing., the fees paid on. passing those Bills, both in that and the other House of Parliament. The costs of legislation are actually higher than those of tourtti of Law; and for:these we leer of no better antho, rity than a " table" of no very ancient date, which those - who demand them look up to and quote as a sort of title deed which gives them a freehold. Mr. Hawn, the highest authority in such matters, gives the, most curious and untenable reasons for their continuance wo ever heard of-...v is.. that the immediate consequences of their abolition , or commutation would be " That the overflowing of pri. vate applications, which'at present very much interrupt the public business, Would overwhelm every thing else ; and it would he impossible for the Speaker, or the officers un der him, any longer to attend to any part of their public duty." The obviona answer to this is, that the fees being payable not till the second reading of a Bill, a Committee has in all instances the 'previous means of ascertaining w hether it be a proper anal necessary measure or not. But we say it with:all due respect, and without, we trust, any approach to a breach of privilege, when we humbly beg leave to doubt the power which either House of Parlia nient has, of its own free wil4 thus to raise money upon the - subject. We know that the King, the highest branch of•the Legislature, cannot do it; and we alw a y s suppose d t h at powers'-of taxation (which these charges in effect amount to) could only be exercised by an Act of the three branches of the Legisla ture: conjointly. Mr. llatsell says, that "it appears from very early instances that the officers of the House of Commons were always entitled to certain fees and perquisites "Wm such persons a 3 were hencfitted by the passing of private Bills." But this he afterwards, in some degree; contradicts, by referring the autho rity of all these fees to the patent of Clerk of the Parliament..— But, whatever may be the antiquity or authority for them, there cerr be no doubt but that th e y are now heroine an intolerable eieVance ; and we trust that some Member of the present Par liaMent will be foUnd, with courage and perseverance enough, to institute an ituittiry upon the auhject ; which we are happy to see Nun a chance of being at length brought hefore the House in the shape of a formal complaint ; for at the last meeting of the Trus tees of the Turepike-road leading from Warminster and Frome to Beth, et COMMittet. was appointed to prepare a petition to Par liaraent.for a reduction of the proient enormous expeneea in pro .s.nitittil local turnpike Acts ,, UpWard of 4150/. it was itated, lyrist to nine of the Clerks of tine House of Comthons, upon passing the last Act for the roads of this trust, exclusive of the solicitor's Mr. Cobbett and - I%e Times seem - now to have' the monopoly of the abuse of Mr. Hume. The Mi n i s t er i a l Pipers ; finding that :the event did not exactly answer their expectations, and, that after the awful imprecations of The Times any thing they could say would be tame, have very quietly withdrawn from the contest. Everywhere through ent the country, where there is a sufficiency of population to maintain an independent paper, the language respecting Mr. Hume is one and the same. Vie have given in another column part of an excellent article from The Birmingham Chronicle on the subject. ' - At the Meeting of the Catholic Association in Dublin, on Tuesday last, loud cheers fol lowed the mention of his name. " When Mr. Hume," said Mr. Lawless " brought forward a measure on the Sub ject of the Church EstabliShment, in the last session of the late Parliament, various obstacles were thrown in his witiy - ; and here he could not help saying, that they owed much to their able and still pure and immaculate friend, Mr. flume. He owed it as a duty to truth to say that as far 'es he Was able to see his way through all the calumnies nod misrepresentations which had been spread abroad against that great and good man—he owed it as a duty to truth to put on record his opinion, and to say that those who endeavoured to reduce Mr. Hume in public opinion, bad signally failed—(Loud' cheers)." The Times is not so consistent as Mr. Cob-- bett. That journal pronounces the opinion that he is " the most useful Member of Parliament," and yet when he proceeds in the course in which he has been so useful, exclaims "non tali auxilio." • We allow that the very sal vation of the country depends on an unsparing retrench ment. We allow that you are indefatigable in your exer tions to procure it •(the Duntfries Courier sayS he has " laboured like a pack-horse in the service of the public"); but, because you are too careful of your own money, we will not allow you to save that of the public. You have risen from an humble station to wealth. and consequence, and passed the meridian of life without laying yourself openon all - your transactions, to challenge or reproach— you are no jobber in Stocks or Shares—you bear the cha racter of a straight forward, open, and sincere man—but you erred in judgment at a critical time, by being just when you ought to have been generous—and, therefore, we would rather be without economy than have it through your instrumentality. Mr. Cobbett again is consistent. He thinks Mr. Hume has not been useful—that his labours have a tendency to uphold the existing state of things, and to keep in life Jews, Quakers, and Unitarians. He imagines, it would appear, that if Ministers hadlull swing, the po litical millenium would be somewhat accelerated. But .let Mr. Cobbett speak for himself. "The character of - this Paper," he says ( The Leeds Mercury), " and the sort of brains that the proprietor of it has, may be judged by the asser tion, that there are 'no means of diminishing the debt, but by retrenchment.' The foolish creature.does not appear to know any more about the matter than a slug or a worm. If they were to take away the whole of the army, if .they were to do all that Mr. Hume has even asked to be' done ; if all were done to-morrow which he has ever expressed a wish to haVe done, it would do nothing at all towards relieving the distresses of , this country, and especially towards reinoviny those dangers which arc to be apprehended in case of war,. The men who talk thus, are either the greatest hypocrites, or the greatest of fools—or they are a mix- . tore of both put together. Again, I repeat, that if all were done that Mr. Hike has ever proposed to have done, it would make no sensible change for the better ; the infernal system of paper money would still live; there would still be Humes, and &rings, and Ellices, and, Bowlegs, and Rothschilds ; there would still be bands of menopolizing Jews, Quakers, and Unitarians, and the country would con ti nue to h e co vered with dispare and with poverty, as it now is ; millions would still be htilf-riterech while thenie ban& of monopolizers were rolling in luxury. Untie has never aimed at any thing but. patching in that sort of way, which would enable the thing still to exist in all its malignity. His manifest aim has been to enlist the grubbing, the mere money loving part of the nation on his side; to • make them believe that he would take care of their mmiey (if he were a Minister; to make them believe that each of them would 'get more for himsey; or at least save more money, if he were Minister. His endeavour has been to cause this numer ous class of mere money-lovers to believe-that he, if he were Mi 'Miter, would manage the nation's affairs more cheaply ; that he would carry on the system at less expellee than it is now carried on. This is what he has been aiming to make the people lie, nevi:, ; and with great .numbers of persons'of this description ha lids succeeded. With men who desire to see the system clainged j with men who want. to see a real change, he has • never had any popidarity ; and though the class with whom he has been popular is a numerous and a pretty noisy class, they are, by their mere money-loving dispusition, very little formidable to the Borough mongers, • on whose side, in effeet, they really arc." Thus it appears that Mr. Cobbett deems Mr. Hume an ally of the Boroughmongers, at least au obstacle to 3 sensible change; and though of course he would not have stirred a linger against the Member for Aberdeen, had he not considered him u dreadfully bad man, yet his zeal in demolishing him is no doubt inflamed by the consideration that he demolishing an enemy of the good cause. For our part we confess, that as we are pot particularly fond of revolutionary measures, it would rather be a recommendation of Mr. Hume to us, if we thought that his la bours had a tendency to keep the fabric, with all its faults, from tumbling about our ears, by rendering It so far comfortable to the inmates as to enable them to drag on an existence tauter :. Our great wish is to see the people rendered inure intelli gent, and less liable to. be deceived .by their enemies, being per- Mailed that the improvement of the people would necessarily be accompanied by an improvement of their superiors. The nation certainly has made considerable advances within these few years, but as a people we have yet much to learn. - Educa tion has.hitherto been at an extremely low ebb with us. The great body of • the people are me re ly taug h t to rea d, wr i te , an d fi gure , an d left to pick up a knowledge. of the moral sciences, by, far the must important, as they may. There is no civilized people in Europe woise grotinded than ourselves in liberal knowledge ; and hence the field that is still (men to sophists and declaimers of all - sorts. But we do' net despair .to Ca: parents a little more att en ti ve t o th e instruction of their offspring, and respectable seminaries of educa tion spring up throughout the country. Sure we are, that it is the interest of every man, srbo take!! an interest in the wellbeing of hie species, to direct his endeavours principally to the suitable ultivation of the moral wilderness of England. It is but justice to Ministers to say, that the people, imluding, under that term, the Wealthy middle classes, have, frotri ignorance and pre jud ice, failed to second them properly, and that the ear which has been so readily lent to clamorous Monopolists (for we have always said that the Merchants and Manufacturers were not one whit more liberal than the Landowners, though Jess powerful) his even made it questionable whether, if a Minister were nut actuated by more 'elevated considerations than mere vulgar interest, it would not be more prudent to perpetuate an erroneous policy than to attempt to alter it, before the public are fully sensible of 'the necessity of the 'change.' If the people were more enlightened the Govermrient would be better, and virtuous and enlightened men Would act with more decision, confident of the support of the public. If Mr. Hume, by incessantly exposing in detail the abuses in our present system, without producing any material improvement, should produce a conviction in the public mind, 'that, under the /..xistitig system, there is - no hope of change for the better, surely ogle a conviction cannot • possibly have • the.effeet of annihilating, in the public mind, the wish to do justiee to themselVes. If the exposure kads to material imptheemint, though this may not be the sensible change to which Mr. Cobbett points, it it still a eliatige which we should be prepared-to hail.—Aforning Chronicle. SAVAGE BRUTALITY.—On Thursday evening, between five and six o'clock, as two Officers of the 2d Dragoon Guards now stationed in the Manchester barracks, were driving ,11<rwri Mosely-street, the vehicle, owing to gross misconduct and obstinacy of a carter, became jammed between two carts, in such a manner as seriously to endanger the lives of the Officers. One of them, a Captain Caldwell, we believe, jumped out of the g i g , and collared th e man whose misconduct had caused the mischief. A scuffle ensued, and then a battle, in which the carter received a sound drubbing ; the fellow, on finding that he was worsted, :drew a knife out of hi, pocket, with which ha cut Captain Old wall across the face, dividing the cartilage of his nose, and a frightful wound on each cheek. We are sorry to add, that in the confusion created by this savage and cowardly attack, the carter !contrived to drive away his cart, before any one thought of ascer taining to whom it belonged.-'—Manchester Mercury. • Peter Ennis was then called, and having received a caution from the Coroner, that he was not bound to say any thing that might criminate himself, replied with perfect readiness, but with some degree of flippancy; to a variety of questions from the Jury. The deceased told witness that she did nut know whether she was in the family way. They had seen an account in the papers, and read it together, of a young woman having taken meadow saffron to procure abortion, and she then said, that if she should be in the flintily way, she would take some. He told her if she did she would injure her health, And that he could give her something more simple, which would have the effect without doing her any harm. lie knew she wits a married woman. They had been intimate for some time. _ _ The Commit'', spoke in the strongest terms of. reprobation of the conduct of the witness, several times bestowing upon him the epithets " fellow," and g 4 scoundrel," and telling him that he might go home, with the comfortable reflection that he had,been in a great measure the Cause of the unfortunate woman's death. It was not impossible, that, had she spoken out, he would have found himself in a very perilous situation. It was a pity the husband could not have a remedy against him, but Such a fellow was not worth powder and shot, unfortunately, Ile might be sent to gaol, and rot there perhain, and no great matter either.:— but that was all. The Jury, after a lengthened consultotion, in the course of. which a general feeling of iudignatitin was expreese4l, at the har dened profligacy clown by the man tonic, the following verdict was returned Thai the deceased came by her death by taking a decoction of meadow saffron, for the purpose of procuring abor tion, she believing herself to be pregnant, but not with an inten tion of destroying herself." The deceiort.sd was a fine young women, 26 years of age, and very respectably connected. THE MARKETS. (From the .London New Price current of Yesterday.) Sm.:ea.—The late extensive transactions in Sugars, and the advance obtained, appear to have checked the request; the busi ness reported this week in hluscovades don not average 500 casks per day; the prices arc, however, supported. The Market is un commonly dull; but there are no sellers at any reduction in prices. The Relined Market has been dull this week, and the prices are a shade lower. The Market, is still very inadequately supplied with inferior goods, but they may be purchased rather lower.

The orders issued, under authority of the British Mi. nister for Foreign Affairs, prohibiting, with muckappear ance of sincerity and even Warmth, the prattice of cover , ing merchandise, the property of the Pacha of Egypt, by the this of his Britannic Majesty, have' given satisfaction to various classes of men.' It is not known, nor imagined, amongst our fellow-subjectS, to what extent the flag of England has been dishonoured, and thehostile expeditions of the infidels against Greece assisted, by the base tupi dity,of ,English traders, and the mercenary and wicked connivance of some of our commercial functionaries in the Levant.. Theaupplies for the Egyptian troops;. and in many . instances the troops themselves, virtre conveyed to their •:destination in British merchant-Vessels, While the fraudulent' papers with which those blood-freighted ehips lime furnished, set it equal defiance the smith of the English naval officers, and the pursuit and ju s t sever i ty o f the cruiscrs'eniployel by Greece to intercept the commu nications of the Pasha. Certainly, whate have been the general sentiment yes ye? might, once " e •ecting the truth and lo y alt y 'of En g lishmen '' where tb: o . niterests of free Christian nations were in open ccr ;11C,„ with those of tyrants and infidel barbarians, tl. conduct of our. "d less that is henceforth said of the as the r• fellow-subjects abroad or at home, so far , 4nts of unfortunate Greece haver been concerned, .% less will be the weight of odium and ignominy at tached to them. Ambition prompts to bold erimes, tivarl6e to mean ones Between treacherous harpies here in England, : plundering the poor Greeks of their own money, and ravenous purveyors to the yen- Eeance of their enemies prostituting, the honour of ngland to a direct co-operation with the Turkish fleets and soldiers in every attack on the Mores, the name of this country must have become a term of contempt and reprobation to man kind, had not the great organs of public opinion throughout the empire vindicated the general body of its inhabitants from all NUS- Oicion of being leagued with thaw wretched pickpockets who con 'vert the Fonda of a distressed people to their own sordid uses— and hail not, likewise, the King's Govermnent, however slow and 'hesitating its progress, ventured at last to tell the more distant 'offenders, that if they continued to involve their Sovereign in an imputed connivance at an unbroken series of outrages upon the Ocarest obligations of neutrality, impartiality, honour, and good faith, they should be henceforth tuft to the mercy'of those whom they had an grievously wronged and so justly exasperated. Let tie hope that these professions of the King of England's Minister may turn, out to be more genuine than those of a certain party 'among hiss subjects, in i:elation to the unhappy Greeks. But, besides the breathing time thus held out to Greece, there bids fair to be a benefit secured to our commerce, in the destruction of a pernicious monopoly of the trade in Egyptian produce. Plucked at, and preyed upon through such various channels, unlawful some, and others marked out by the hand of the Legislature itself, the wonder is, that the English merchant can any where hobd his ground against the combination of ropier) , and folly which besets Times. EGYPT. EXTEACT A LETTER EAOII 'Ram, DATED SEPT, 27. bill and other expences. The great grievance, as well as ahaurdi ,ty of the thing, consists in calling Bills private, which are mani festly, and to all intents and purposes, public. Can, for in stance, the above case of a Bill for maintaining the Bath road, in which the whole kingdom is interested, be properly called a pri vate Bill? The truth is, that none but estate, naturalization, di vorce, and a few others, can strictly be called private Bills ; and were both Houses .of Parliament to draw this line, and abolish fees upon all others, they would cut the Gordian knot, and give great satisfaction to tbe public.—Morning Herald. CORONER'S INQUEST. Last evening a Coroner's Inquest, composed of highly respect able gentlemen, assembled at the house of Abrahams, Esq. in Keppell-street, Russell-square, for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances attending the death of Hannah Jefferies, who was said to have destroyed herself by taking a decoction of meadow saffron, for the purpose of producing abortion. Mr. Henry Coombe, of Caroline-street, Bedford-square, surgeon, was called. On Monday last, about one o'clock in the day, wit ness was seut for to attend the deceased, at the house of Mr. Abrahams. She was extremely ill, and in bed. Upon being questioned, she said she had taken a quantity of meadow saffron —a tea-cup full.
